steamer trunk
Ocean liner luggage
A steamer trunk is a large, sturdy rectangular trunk with a flat top, originally designed to fit under berths on steamships for ocean travel.
Unlike dome-topped trunks, the flat lid allowed stacking in tight cabin quarters.
These trunks typically feature reinforced corners, metal hardware, and leather straps.
Though steamship travel is largely obsolete, steamer trunks remain collectible as vintage storage pieces and decorative furniture.
